Special Synod 76 - March 2017

The purpose for this Special Synod is summarized as follows:

Providing Indigenous episcopal leadership would be in keeping with the direction that has beencalled for by the Anglican Council of Indigenous Peoples (ACIP) and would be both a sign ofand real action toward living into “The New Agape.” Having an Indigenous person who is wellknown and highly respected amongst the indigenous people in southern Alberta recognized by the Church in this way and also empowered to further the work of the Gospel within Indigenous communities and raise up local leadership for that ministry, has the marks of the Spirit’s leading.
